Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay “What is taking so infernally long?” Dominarch growled as she looked up from the helm. Ahead of her were a circle of screens, depicting the battle on board the ship they had just captured. “You are dealing with four Decayons, why have you not captured them yet?” A masculine, draconic being approached, wrapped in silky … Read more

“Galyn…” “What?” “That ship is back.” Galyn didn’t say anything. Instead, he tutted and ran his claws across a control panel. Although unnoticeable to the naked eye, the Thantir Two started moving a lot faster. Being a much smaller, more nimble ship, Galyn knew that they were probably in danger, and needed to get to … Read more
“I thought this sector was supposed to be empty?” Galyn glanced down at the map, then at the mishmash of clearly inhabited asteroids, then back at the map again. He then turned on the 3d mapping system, which showed an empty blot where they were supposed to be. “It’s very much not empty.” “I gathered…” … Read more
“Everything ready for take-off?” Galyn asked as Arkay sat down and strapped himself in. “I’ve gone through everything on the list and that is all good, so if that means everything is ready, then yes.” Galyn glanced behind him, where Retvik and Litvir had both also sat down and put on their safety belts. “Are … Read more
“You want a holiday?” “No, I want paid vacation time for me and my fellow guardians, which we can take as and when we need it.” Tenuk closed his eyes, mentally recapping the speech he had just given to Kinisis. He had outlined how remaining in one place was detrimental to one’s health, how doing … Read more
“Alright, you’re all probably wondering why we’re all sitting around this table.” Tahvra raised his hand, but his hand was only just visible above the table. He’d meant to have raised his chair before this meeting started, but didn’t have time to do so. “Is it because we don’t have a proper meeting room?” Tahnahos … Read more
“Oh thank heavens, are you here to take me back to the ship?” Arkay exclaimed as he spotted Galyn approaching. “Like, this place is nice, but there are only so many draconic time references I can take before I start going more insane!” Galyn looked down at Arkay and quietly nodded, before leading him back … Read more
“I thought Elkay had the next shift.” Phovos was very clearly annoyed. There had been vague attempts to hide her anger and disdain, but Tenuk could instantly tell something was wrong. “Uh, Elkay and I swapped shifts.” “I see. Because of Elksia, I assume. That was kind of him.” Tenuk was actually getting quite concerned. … Read more
“I take it you had fun.” Out of the five other Guardians Tenuk worked with, he found it rather odd how strangely agreeable Elkay was. There Tenuk was, lying on the sofa, completely nude and with a sleeping Vrekan in his arms. Yet Elkay had been a complete bro, gotten up early and covered them … Read more
“Hey Tenuk!” Elksia’s shrill, bird-like voice pierced the darkness, pulling Tenuk out of his mind fog. He had been sitting on the empty balcony, staring out into the void, minding his own business. But both Elksia’s presence and the smell of fresh, hot pizza was certainly enough to draw his attention. “Oh, hey Elksia. Was … Read more
“Do you mind if I get something off my chest?” “Is that why you are-” Litvir quietly hissed at Retvik as the two of them laid on their stomachs, their backs and necks being gently massaged by dedicated machinery, being overwatched by a gooey, tentacled Decay Lord who called themselves a “Master Massager”. To their … Read more
“I am so tired…” The two holograms on the other side of the table flickered briefly, both giving Galyn some concerned looks. He had spent about twenty minutes just trying to get the damn projectors to work and broadcast audio, but now he’d gotten them working, he was just getting worried. It wasn’t so much … Read more
The Life Oasis was completely empty. Well, almost. Arkay had wandered in, expecting at least a handful of busty deities chatting to each other, but there was no one around at all. The line of hotel rooms along one wall were all open and unoccupied. The poolside bar was blank. Everything seemed… almost abandoned. But … Read more
“Here is an extra two hundred credits. Spend them on whatever you want, as long as you pick up Arkay and return to the ship when I call you. I am off to have some fun. See you later, kiddos.” Retvik and Litvir watched almost helplessly as Galyn patted them both on the head, then … Read more
